Andy Burnham is being deliberately misleading.
UK fuel is double taxed.
Every litre includes fuel duty of 52.95p, then VAT is added to final sale price - after fuel duty is applied.
It's immoral and Burnham could stop it. Instead he boasts about Google maps.
What a fraud.
Andy Burnham has posted a misleading tweet trying to claim credit for the fact that Google Maps lists petrol prices. "I won't accept that there's nothing I can do to help," he says, ignoring the fact that his government has already hoovered up another £110m in additional tax revenue on higher fuel prices since the 1st of August and that tax constitutes 47% of the price of petrol.
If fuel prices stay at their current levels, the full extra amount that Labour will rake in from VAT on fuel by next August is £1.2bn.
Moreover if Labour's planned 3p fuel duty increase on 1 January 2027, followed by 2p on 1 March 2027 and an April RPI uplift go ahead, then another £1.7bn of revenue will be raised in the first 7 months of 2027, meaning a total tax increase of £2.95bn over the Aug 26 to Aug 27 period.
If Burnham really wanted to make fuel more affordable, the least he would do is to reduce the level of tax so the government was no longer raking in even more cash from higher fuel prices.
This is a devastating scandal.
Why did it take the brutal murder of our beloved Ann Widdecombe for the police to do their jobs?
The Police and the Home Secretary have serious questions to answer.
This is unbelievable. The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has offered his solution to rising petrol and gas prices by giving advice to use Google maps to find the cheapest petrol stations. Cutting fuel duty might be a bit more helpful to millions of cash strapped motorists.
The Hard Left murdered Anne Widdecombe
The Hard Left plotted to kill Nigel Farage
The Hard Left are currently burning down France
The Hard Left are actively welcoming terrorists to the UK
The Hard Left are plotting to seize your property
But the Far Right are the problem?
If anyone in Hampshire was wondering why they couldn't get an ambulance when they rang 999 today, now they know the reason... our International Health Service has different priorities.
Holy shit.
Entire area of the U.K. on lockdown to British nationals so these feral freaks can be brought ashore to a waiting fleet of ambulances & coaches
Illegals given PRIORITY access to our land.

🚨 MEET LABOUR MINISTER JENNY RIDDELL CARPENTER WHO THINKS PUBS AND DOGS ARE FAR RIGHT!
Look closely at the face in this photo to understand how much the Westminster ruling class despises ordinary British life.
This is the actual Nature Minister in charge of rural affairs, representing Suffolk Coastal while actively waging ideological war on village culture:
*Confessed on camera that she lies awake at night terrified of traditional country pubs, pints of ale, and pet black labradors.
*Publicly smeared centuries of English rural heritage as a dangerous far right fantasy that never really existed.
*Backs Rachel Reeves and her brutal twenty percent inheritance tax raid designed to drive multi generational family farms into bankruptcy.
*Supports punitive business taxes and green levies that are forcing two local British pubs to close their doors forever every single day.
Labour politicians do not just want to tax you into poverty, they genuinely despise your traditions, your pets, and your local community.
How on earth did an urban snob who hates the countryside this much get put in charge of British nature?
Retweet this immediately to expose Jenny Riddell Carpenter and show every rural voter in Britain the contempt running Whitehall. 🇬🇧🔥
Burnham’s speech was an attack on pensioners, workers and savers.
No plan to stop the small boats. No plan to control mass immigration. No mention of Net Stupid Zero.
Britain needs Reform. 🇬🇧
This is James Newton-Price KC — the judge who denied @RealDannyTommo bail.
He previously granted bail to a Pakistani GP who sexually abused patients and a funeral director who allowed bodies to rot in hot weather.
Newton-Price is a Labour supporter. 🇬🇧
